I suck.
I want to be better.
At blogging.
And other stuff too.
Here's a list of things I currently love about being Henry's mom:
- He looks for me when I'm not holding him or interacting with him.
- I teach him stuff, like how to say "mama" (yeah, okay, so it might be more like he says, "mamamamamamamaaaaa")
- I can make him laugh.
- When he's really tired he'll make a certain noise. I'll hold him close to my chest and he'll push away from me, look me in the face, make the noise, give me a little grin, and then take a dive back into my chest, falling asleep before his head makes contact.
- He likes to play with my face. Tonight he had a death grip on my nose. I couldn't stop laughing so he thought it was fun. Thank god I cut his fingernails earlier today. Ouch!
- Making plans for the two of us.
- Watching him watch the world.
- Being able to understand his cues. Tired. Hungry. Need to have quiet time. Ready to rock out on the jumperoo. Need hugs.
- Singing to him before putting him to bed.
- Every night right before I kiss him goodnight and leave him to fall asleep, I tell him one thing I especially loved about the day with him and I tell him one thing I wish for him for the next day.
